How do you dispose of your old helmet???

[vagrant]

How do you get rid of your old helmet?
The last one I disposed of by putting a pick thru it a couple of times and I cut the straps off as well. I chucked it on the inorganic collection pile. It lasted about an hour before someone grabbed it.

So how do/did you get rid of yours?

[Nagash]

Err, if they've never been crashed in and they're not too old I usally just keep 'em for pillions or give them away to someone else. (I buy new helmets quite regularly.. god knows why)

But if I were to dispose of it, i'd have some fun. Fire and petrol is always fun. Throwing it off a tall bulding.. turning it into a portable beer holder.

Many, many things you can do.

[SpankMe]

It becomes the grilfriends new helmet.

[FJRider]

If is not good enough for you, but good enough for HER...you really care ???

[fergie]

I tried smashing an old helmet recently, was surprised how hard i had to hit it to make a dent in it.

Goes up on a nail on the shed wall to keep all my other old lids company , same with skanky old jackets ,

[McJim]

We should write a book - 101 uses for a dead helmet.

We've got 6 helmets in the house now. Only 2 in use though.

bahahahaha this is probably true for most of us.

mind you i sometimes wish i had given the ex vagrants old helmet with pick holes and no straps :whistle:

[Usarka]

Put some dirt in it and make a weeble wobble pot plant.

[RC1]

give it to a kber looking for some gear and to save a bit of money , i have done with some leathers and a helmet, got some beer money works out good for both , IMHO

Took my last one out to the range and shot it. Put the old girl out of her misery.... NA actually just wanted to see what would happen to it when one gets hit with a bullet. Impressive!!

[fLaThEaD FreD]

I asked and was given a helmet recentley as I damaged a viser and hinge and needed a part. This this time I have ripped out the lining and planted some daises in it....looks good in the middle of the garden lol.:sunny:

[moT]

Fill it with fertilizer (Ammonium nitrate) and add a cup of diesiel and a detenator

[Owl]

I just took my old Corsair out to the shed and gave it the axe test!
It took 4 decent blows to the top of the helmet before the shell gave way. Even then the axe couldn't penetrate the aramid mesh. Unfortunately, it was no match for the hacksaw.:rolleyes:

[blossomsowner]

take the insides out and use it as a planter for the sons school project and then throw it out once the plant eventually dies.

[fridayflash]

if theyre still tidy and usable,ill hang it in the shed as a lender or woteva

[skidMark]

Errr whats a Helmet?

[Toaster]

My head is too big for the Mrs.

So I just turn them upside down and use them as pot plant holders.

[Kendog]

Ride to a soccer trip tournament.

While you are not there, some pissed team mates put your wifes helmet on and use it for kicking and door slamming practice.

Donate helmet to the team (after they pay for a new one)

[rat biker 08]

Hang in garage as tool holder works good. Or good for oil change.:lol:

[slopster]

Yeah good luck you'll need more then a det

[CM2005]

keep them for nostalgic purposes. lol

[CM2005]

skidmark you're an idiot. also, what size front wheel and discs does your shitty ZXR have?

[far queue]

My head is too big for the Mrs.There's no need to skite :shifty: :whistle:

[inlinefour]

The only skidlid I have is the one that I was wearing when I had the bin that ended me riding again. IMO someone would be a farkturd for giving their lady their old lid. Don't be such a cheap skate and get her a new one that fits when your getting yours.

[Toaster]

There's no need to skite :shifty: :whistle:

Took me a while to get that one hehehehehe..... :eek:

[cindymay]

Have only ever got rid of one helmet - on the second one and expect it to last a while. I have been told you should replace them every few years but I don't see why they shouldn't last for ages.

Thanks goodness for that!!!!! :clap:It would be much better growing plants than f.....ng your head!!!!

[davereid]

1. Paint it black to cover the dents. (Fill really bad cracks with RTV first).
2. Use glue to make the lining stay in.
3. Put it on TradeMe described as "Immaculate, almost never used"
4. Spend money at pub.

[idleidolidyll]

if it's old and unsafe i give them to harley and honda riders or perhaps even scooter riders

i also sell well oiled brake pads to the same people on trademe

someone told me i should grow plants in them but i think cannabis needs a bigger pot (expert advice anyone?)

[Cajun]

last helmet which was old, got an attacking with an axe, to make sure no one was going to ever use it again.

i can so picture that happening.

The alternative: invite friends with toddlers around who think it's all cute that their little poo-machine picks up helmet and drops on concrete.
:blink:

[kinger]

You could always consider donating it to St Johns for training purposes. Last thing you need in a spill is some untrained doofus straining to get your lid off.

Smashed the last one with a sledge hammer. Was really fun and took a few swings as well before I crushed it with my enormous strength!

[pritch]

i think cannabis needs a bigger pot

So would that be a bigger pot pot?

[Zuki Bandit]

I would throw it out.

Yeah I didn't think before I typed! :Oops: I could have said "helmet" but I am sure someone would have found that just as amusing.
